Just went to Spruce to get a medium weight cloth, resin, hardener, squeegee, brushes, etc. then I re-watched the Help video, produced by Viking, I believe. They show the layup done as one piece, using cardboard templates taped down with clear packaging tape, providing for saging relief via the cardboard and tape and making the canopy removable for trimming and for future removal, if needed. That method, of course, does not permit permanent bonding of the fairing via the epoxy lay-up process. The bonding agent is the silicone I mentioned above, The Right Stuff. Oh me or my....hard to decide the road to take. I like the single layup idea, the removability potential, and the easy to trim and finish the edges capability (when the canopy is detached before gluing, but I'm torn between. I, definitely want to do the lay-up for the sturdiness factor alone (more plies in the center section), but I haven't decided to do the single lay-up version or the Manual's three section method, and I haven't decided whether or not to name it detachable....with all the before, during and after construction benefits. If we go the detachabl route, I don't think the black silicone stuff will be an issue...just paint the inside of the canopy in those overlap areas wit interior colors...never see the black stuff. Ideas, thoughts??? Thanks!
